Police are investigating a 'deliberate' fire in a supermarket car park that left a vehicle a blackened, burnt-out shell.

Firefighters were called to the blaze at Tesco Glastonbury shortly after 1.20am on Sunday (July 15).

They found a silver four-door car "well alight" after receiving calls about a car fire from several members of the public, according to a spokeswoman for the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.

The first firefighters to arrive at the scene called for back-up from Glastonbury Fire Station, as addition equipment was needed to help battle the fire.

Crew used two sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets and a dry powder extinguisher to extinguish the fire.

No one was injured, the spokeswoman said.

"The fire is believed to have been started deliberately," she said. "Police were asked to attend and we left it with them."

This is the sight that greeted shoppers hoping to beat the queues at Tesco Glastonbury this morning
